T-BOP Rest in Peace United States 18456 Posts	Posted 01/09/2015 08:43 am A lot of dealers would classify their au's as slider uncs. Meaning the coin is so close to unc. but not quite there. I don't believe any collector would use that term for their own coins. Tony Report this Post to the Staff

Neo13x Pillar of the Community United States 604 Posts	Posted 01/09/2015 1:10 pm When I hear the term "Slider" the first thing that comes to mind is the Morgan dollar. If I am remembering what I read correctly many of these coins where shuffled around from bank to bank thus causing minor wear without actually ever going into circulation.

tkbslc Pillar of the Community United States 1158 Posts	Posted 01/09/2015 1:29 pm I've heard it used negatively and positively. Positively in that my AU coin looks like an MS, and negatively in that people try to charge MS prices for a nice looking AU hoping to fool people. Report this Post to the Staff

1cent Pillar of the Community Canada 1051 Posts	Posted 01/09/2015 9:48 pm There are a few definitions, but I always use it to describe bumping the coin up a grade. AU+ can become MS, or an MS-63 PCGS green tag or ICCS embossed tag becomes an MS-64. In that case though, the "sliding" is the result of a reduction in strictness of grading, which would be more commonly called grade creep. I think the classical definition would be a high AU coin "sliding" into an MS holder even though it has seen a slight amount of circulation. Report this Post to the Staff
